Lemon Pepper Shrimp

This is a super simple and speedy dish that just lets the shrimp shine!  No reducing of ingredients or sauces required!  I normally use fresh garlic when I’m cooking.  However, in this recipe I used garlic powder to keep the flavor a little more subtle.  Lemon Pepper is available online or in your spice aisle.  It contains lemon, pepper, salt & other seasonings.

Once in a while I make a batch of this up for my girls to snack on in the afternoon but it makes a speedy weeknight dinner in under 10  minutes!  We like to serve it with a side of rice and a tossed salad!

Make sure the oil/butter  mixture is sizzling hot before you add the shrimp or the coating will not crisp.
